The Clotilda Descendants Association, Inc

The promise of the Clotilda Descendants Association is to never let the world forget the resiliency of those 110 brave African men, women and – yes – children crammed nakedly and against their will into the cargo hold of a ship in 1860 for a two-month long journey to Mobile … a trip that was merely for the amusement of a wealthy white slave owner.

The mission of the CDA is to honor our ancestors; preserve our culture, landmarks, and legacies; and educate future generations of descendants and the community.

Our vision is to create a global network of descendants who work together to preserve and continue the legacy of our ancestors.
